WOLVES could face a Football Association and Premier League probe over their links to super agent Jorge Mendes, according to reports.

The Portuguese millionaire, who has Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo among his clients, and Wolves are in the firing line because of the takeover deal at Molineux by Chinese conglomerate Fosun International.

Wolves, now packed with Champions League calibre talent, have been the runaway leaders in the Championship and are currently 12 points clear with just 15 games left.

The current set up at Wolves passed EFL regulations when Fosun bought the club in October 2015 but it remains to be seen if they will pass the the Premier League’s owners and directors’ test should they get promoted.
